I'm currently 32 weeks and getting my hospital bag put together. But I have no idea what needs or should be in there. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!! π

Woman's depend diaper under wear...pads and granny panties lol I know the hospital doesn't let you eat anything so I would bring candy for some well needed sugar/energy.

Your own pillows, night gown for you, slippers, going home out fit for you and your baby.

Check out boards on Pinterest - lots of great ideas there. I was most thankful for having brought snacks and a bunch of perineal ice packs.

The only things I used was my own shampoo, conditioner, body wash, maybe makeup for pics, comfy clothes to go home in, phone charger, socks(I forgot these for some reason) but that's it!

Toothbrush, toothpaste, comfortable going home clothes, and a baby take home outfit. That's pretty much all I needed and I was there 4 days. The hospital pretty much has everything you need including mesh panties ;)

Toiletries and comfy clothes (I bought maternity nightgowns from kohls that can pulled off as dresses), phone chargers, camera, snacks. My SO brought an air mattress to sleep on (our room was huge)!

What I packed: pajamas, underwear (like granny panties) going home clothes for me, going home clothes for LO, toiletries (toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, deodorant, contacts, makeup) camera, phone chargers What I used: toothpaste & toothbrush, going home clothes for me & LO, camera, chargers I didn't shower at the hospital. I have this weird phobia of showering places besides my own home! The mesh undies they give you at the hospital are THE BEST! I strongly suggest bringing some home!!!

Don't forget the Chapstick. You never realize how dry your lips can get until after birth.

Also, I didn't pack my husband anything because he went home the next day to feed the cat, so he brought a change of clothes then

If you're a light sleeper (like I am) ear plugs and a noise machine were essential.

Invest in a extra long charger. I was stuck in bed and wanted my phone to distract me and then it died and the charger was to short!! Also will come in good use when you have the baby at home.
